THE ANNUNCIATION

(From a Dream)

 

Albert Huffstickler

 

 

Bob Hope told me

that Jesus Christ is born.

I believed him.

He was close enough to

the other side to know,

probably saw him come in.

About 99 years old,

wrinkled, he looked

like a prune with ears.

I hadn't thought about

either of them in years

but decided I'd ponder both.

After all, you don't get

messages from a prune

with ears often.

You don't get Hope often either--

even if it's Bob.
